Frequently Asked Questions - EHD350 EverFocus

How do I connect the camera to power and video?

Connect the power supply cable (12VDC or 24VAC) and video output to the terminal board as shown in Figure 7. Ensure the polarity matches (Power In + and -). The video output is BNC 1.0Vp-p, 75 ohm.

What are the DIP switches on the camera used for?

The DIP switches control AGC (Auto Gain Control), BLC (Back Light Compensation), FL (Flickerless), and LL (Line-Lock sync). Default settings: AGC ON, BLC OFF, FL OFF, LL OFF. Refer to the manual for adjustments.

How do I adjust the camera view angle?

The camera can be rotated 360° horizontally, 140° vertically, and 60° on the 3rd axis. Loosen the lens fixing screws, adjust the desired angle, then retighten. Use the vari-focal lens to zoom and focus.

What is the purpose of the desiccant pack?

The desiccant pack absorbs humidity inside the camera to prevent lens fogging. After adjusting settings, place the pack on the horizontal rod, bend the rod to secure it, then install the outer cover.

Can the camera be used outdoors?

Yes, it is weatherproof IP66 rated and can operate from -40°C to 50°C. It also has a built-in heater that activates below 10°C to prevent condensation.

How do I enable Line-Lock sync?

Set the LL DIP switch to ON. Note that Line-Lock only works with AC power source (24VAC). When using DC power, keep LL OFF for internal sync.

What should I do if the image is too bright or too dark?

Adjust the IRIS LEVEL VR on the termination board. Turn counterclockwise (L) for darker image, clockwise (H) for brighter. Also adjust IRIS ALC: counterclockwise for average metering, clockwise for peak metering.

How do I clean the camera lens?

Use lens tissue or a cotton swab with ethanol to gently clean the sensor and lens. Do not touch the sensor directly by hand. Use a soft cloth for the camera body.

What accessories are included in the box?

The package includes the camera unit, 4 screws, 4 expanding screws, a wrench, a conduit, a power & video cable, a desiccant pack, and the manual. An optional wall mount bracket (BA-EHD) is sold separately.

Is the camera compatible with both NTSC and PAL systems?

Yes, the camera supports both video formats. Check the specification for exact picture elements: NTSC 768x494, PAL 752x582. The default format may be preset; consult the manual for switching.

Connect the power supply cable (AC24V/DC12V), video output and alarm output to the proper connectors shown as Figure 7.

The V. Phase adjustment screw is located on the termination board. The vertical phase may require adjustment to synchronize the vertical phase of the camera with other camera in the system when it is to be used in the line-lock sync mode. Make the adjustment when the vertical phase of the camera does not match with other cameras.

6. View Angle Adjustment

The camera can be rotated 360^ horizontally, 140^ vertically and 60^ 3' rd axis view angles (as shown in Figure 8). Adjust the proper camera view angle as needed. If a vari-focal lens is used, you may adjust the focus and zoom of the lens to bring the object in focus. Be sure to loosen the locking screws on the lens before you make adjustment.

Vari-Focal Lens

LL (Line-Lock) OFF/ON

To select the sync mode between Internal Sync.(LL off) and Line-Lock (LL on).

Set the line-lock off, the camera will synchronize to the internal time base. Set the line-lock ON, the camera's vertical synchronization can be driven by the AC signal in the power lines.

Note: Line-Lock sync mode operation is possible only when used with an AC power source; it is not possible with a DC power source.

The default setting is OFF.

AGC (Automatic Gain Control) OFF/ON

AGC ON: The sensitivity increases automatically when light is low.

AGC OFF: A-low-noise picture is obtained under a low light condition.

The default setting is ON.

BLC (Back Light Compensation) ON/OFF

When BLC is turned on, the AGC, ES and IRIS operating points are determined by averaging over the center area instead of entire field-of-view, so that a dimly-lit foreground object at center area can be clearly distinguished from brightly-lit backgrounds.

BLC should not be used unless it is needed to compensate for back-lit.

The default setting is OFF.

FL (Flickerless Function) ON/OFF

When picture flicker fiercely, turn FL on, then the camera will stabilize the speed of electronic shutter at 1/100(NTSC) or 1/120(PAL) automatically, and reduce the flicker immediately.

The default setting is OFF

IRIS Level Adjustment

Brightness Level can be adjusted from the IRIS level VR.

■ Turn counterclockwise to L to get darker picture.
■ Turn clockwise to H to get brighter picture.

IRIS ALC Adjustment

To select light metering method

■ Turn the IRIS ALC Adjustment VR counterclockwise for Average Metering.
■ Turn the IRIS ALC Adjustment VR clockwise for Peak Metering.

SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DESICCANT PACK

Due to the camera lens blurred from the humidity inside the camera.

The desiccant pack absorbs the humidity; please refer to the easy instruction as follows:

1. Adjust all settings first and place the desiccant pack on the horizontal rod, then bend the horizontal rod and fix it.
2. Install the outer cover and tighten the screws.
